Isaac Fallis enlisted, place not stated, in April, 1777, when just a boy, served in Captains William Oldham and Job Vernon's Company, Colonel Johnston's Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment, was at the battle of Monmouth and taking of Cornwallis and was discharged at the close of the war. It was stated that he was badly burned by powder, place where the accident occurred not stated.
He was allowed pension on his application executed December 4, 1830, while residing in Mercer County, Kentucky. In 1833, he stated that he was then aged sixty-seven years.
He died November 26, 1851. The date and place of his birth are not given.
The soldier married March 23, 1786, in Mercer County, Kentucky, Elizabeth Campbell. Their marriage was recorded on the records of the clerk of said Mercer County.

This day Robert Humble aged seventy-eight years personally appeared in open court (being a court of Record) and made oath, that he was a soldier of the Revolutionary war and in the 10 th Pennsylvania Regiment in the continental line (of said State) that I was well acquainted with a boy in the 5 th Pennsylvania Regiment in the year 1778 who was an enlisted soldier with Lieut Andrew Little of Capt. Joel Varnums company of 5 th Regiment he was a small active boy (by the name of Isaac Hallis) with whom I have lately conversed, and I well recollect of his being badly burnt with Powder, and that a soldier by the name of James Hammond threw a stone at him and cut his arm very much near his elbow, the scar of which is yet visible & which I have examined, and altho I was not intimate with 5 th Hallis yet in conversing with him upon the various minute incidents in relation to the movements of the army and many other circumstances such as the 5 th Hallis being a remarkable small and active youth which attracted my attention when our regiments were together which both belonged to Genl Wayne's Brigade I have no doubt that He is the Identical same Isaac Hallis with whom I was acquainted in the Army of the Revolution we were together at the Battle of Monmouth and at the taking of Cornwallis in the fall 1781 and said Hallis was a soldier for and during the war and continued until the close of it as he did not leave the army until the war was set an end and the troops were

generally discharged, I have not seen the s d Hallis for many years but upon conversing with him and examining him together with my recollection of his features and many incidents not necessary to detail, I am certain that he is the identical same Isaac Hallis who I knew in the Revolutionary army when a boy and who continued in the army until the close of the war, Witness my hand this 11 th day of May 1832 -

I have not entirely given up the hope of going on to the Baltimore convention, altho my prospects are clouded - It is very evident that the Clay & Calhoun men are contriving all kinds of mischief. divide and conquer is their motto, and among you prominent men it will be very difficult to maintain your balance if all your friends pertinaciously adhere so far as you are concerned we must so act as to be found on our feet let what will come - Mr Wilkins refusal to agree to the Baltimore convention will not do him much good.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Isaac Falls, who, you state, drew a pension for service in the Revolutionary War and also in regard to Isaac Fallis, who, in 1840, was living in Mercer County, Kentucky.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no record found of a claim for pension or bounty land made to the United States based upon the military service of Isaac Falls in that war. The history of Isaac Fallis is given below:
Isaac Fallis W.3671
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, W.3671, based upon the military service of Isaac Fallis in that war.
Isaac Fallis enlisted, place not stated, in April, 1777, (when just a boy, served in Captains William Oldham and Job Vernon's Company, Colonel Johnston's Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment, was at the battle of Monmouth and taking of Cornwallis and was discharged at the close of the war. It was stated that he was badly burned by powder, place where the accident occurred not stated.
He was allowed pension on his application executed December 4, 1830, while residing in Mercer County, Kentucky. In 1833, he stated that he was then aged sixty-seven years.
He died November 26, 1851. The date and place of his birth are not given.
He said he was a little over 13 but if he was 67 in 1833 19 would be an error as I used 67 yrs & said ad. "when a boy"
He said Capt Oldham but as second Capt Job Vernon Pa. 5th Pa. Pa Archin I thought he probably said Vernon 9 months missed him stood him

The soldier married March 23, 1786, in Mercer County, Kentucky, Elizabeth Campbell. Their marriage was recorded on the records of the clerk of said Mercer County.
late her death not an AB Soldier's widow, Elizabeth, was allowed pension on her application executed September 15, 1852, at which time she was aged eighty-five years and resided in Mercer County, Kentucky, with her grandson, P.J.Fallis, then aged thirty-nine years.
There are no further data as to family.
The above is the history of the only soldier named Isaac Fallis that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Very truly yours
